Halburn Trespassing Trial Scheduled For January 27th, 2010

Kanawha County Deputy J. M. Vernon says Mark Vance Halburn, alias Mark Hallburn, was trespassing in August of 2009, and now the date has been set for Halburn to face the music.

Halburn's trial has been scheduled for January 27, 2010, at 10 AM before Kanawha County Magistrate Traci Carper-Strickland. The public is invited to attend.

According to a citation issued by Vernon, Halburn was busted after after forcing his way into the swimming pool at Shawnee Park in Institute on August 30, 2009. After refusing to leave, Halburn was arrested. Unfortunately for him, the Kanawha County Sheriff Department SWAT Team was conducting exercises there at the time. Halburn is charged with a misdemeanor.



Halburn is the "Publisher" of PutnumLive.com, an internet blog. He also claims to be a journalist. He was not on duty at the time of his arrest.

PutnamLIES.com readers may recall that we broke the story of the arrest immediately after it happened. The EXCLUSIVE STORY detailed the circumstances surrounding the crime.

Halburn's Kanawha County Magistrate Court case number is 09m 10170.

  11. Interesting read here of another local trial in Putnam County, am surprised that Putnamblob isn't covering this:

  12. From the Gazette article above on the "other case" not covered by Putnam County's Leading Source of News:

    "She said her husband has underlying mental-health issues...."

    Get with the program Putnamblob!

  13. Are you kidding?
    They're butt buddies.
    Too bad Halburn can't share a cell with him once he's convicted too.

    That's OK though. We've got it covered in our Read It Here section.

    Once again showing why PutnamLIES.com is Putnam County's REAL news leader.

  14. Putnamlies.com broke the Sexton story first! Where was Mark? (not) in Hawai'i ? Tuning in all the new TV's in his house? Redressing his grievances to "former" Hurricane City Councilmen in Sheetz? Bullying young girls at pools?

    You're so big on arrests and trials here, write up this one...

  15. Looks like Putnamblob has put the article into his blog now but it just takes the reader to a signup for netflix.... nice try. Amazing he is, what a news ace reporter he is for Putnam County's SECOND leading news leader...

  16. Thanks Mike for providing the #1 coverage to this news breaking story! Putnamblob is going to low blows (they will need to do that later at south central or Mount Olive -- if you know what I mean) to try to divert his blogster audience to "netflix" sign ups....

    Many thanks!
